 The center, or core, is where it all begins and where it all comes back to in the end. Over seventy years ago the founders of Loveland Ski Area discovered the core of great skiing in this mountain – an abundance of snow from October through May, varied terrain and a close, easy trip from the city of Denver. Loveland has stayed true to what the founders discovered and what current locals refuse to let go of – great skiing and riding. To us, the core of great skiing and riding is uncrowded slopes, short lift lines, free close-in parking and fresh tracks all day long and days after a storm hits. This is the essence of great Colorado skiing and riding. This is Core Colorado. Check out Loveland Ski Area’s NEW website and while you’re there check out the live cams, including one perched high atop the Continental Divide. Be sure to sign up for e-snow news so that you can receive opening day alerts, event and “insider” news and snow alerts each time we get some of that 400 inches of powder we are so famous for.

Loveland Ski Area is where Denver locals ski & ride. Sitting high atop The Continental Divide, Loveland averages 400" of snow each season, more than any Front Range or Summit County resort. Loveland is also just 53 miles from Denver so it is a short drive from anywhere in the Front Range. While Loveland has varied terrain for every ability, Loveland Valley provides beginners and first timers with a separate base area and gentle slopes perfect for learning how to ski or ride. | |
